You’re not supposed to speak ill of the dead, but one Florida man clearly didn’t get the memo having written what might just be the most savage obituary of all time for his late dad.
Larry Pfaff Jr’s 81-year-old father died recently, and in an obituary published over the Independence Day weekend, Larry branded him a ‘narcissistic, abusive alcoholic’ and called his passing ‘proof that evil does eventually die’.
Larry, 58, also wrote that his late dad’s - who died on 27 June - ‘hobbies’ included ‘abusing his first wife’.
A segment of the obituary published by the Huffington Post read: “[Pfaff] is survived by his three children, no four. Oops, five children. Well as of 2022 we believe there is one more that we know about, but there could be more.

“His love was abundant when it came to himself, but for his children it was limited. From a young age, he was a ladies’ man and an abusive alcoholic, solidifying his commitment to both with the path of destruction he left behind, damaging his adult children, and leaving them broken.”
The outlet notes that the obituary was published in The Florida Times-Union and Larry also touched upon his dad’s career.
Larry said his father spent more than two decades working for the New York Police Department, but ‘because of his alcohol addiction, his Commanding Officer took away his gun and badge, replacing them with a broom until he could get his act together’.

UNILAD has approached the New York Police Department for comment.
Larry also wrote that his dad ‘possesses no redeeming qualities for his children, including the ones he knew, and the ones he knew about’.
Speaking to the Florida Times-Union, Larry said his dad left the family when he was just nine years old and had several more children with various women, who he also abandoned.
According to the Times-Union, Larry’s sister Carolyn Compton - who grew up in the same household as him - ‘confirmed Pfaff’s account of their father’.

Larry also said he’s been approached by members of the public who have thanked him for his honesty.
He explained: “I got a call from somebody in St. Augustine that found me and wanted to thank me for posting that because, you know, they had a similar life, and they wanted to be able to do something similar to help heal.
“They just thanked me for, you know, the honesty.”
